First of all, I want to merge and test your lkarmafs patch for improved pathnname edditing, etc. I hope I'll do it along this week end. On the other hand, there are some TODO issues in lkarmafs which seem to me more interesting and short-term demanded than the efficiency boost. I'd add to the list the implementation of a directory-structure display of playlists. But most important and challenging of all things is to find a (simple, if possible) way to determine tune duration and set it upon file closing. Solving this problem should give a definitive solution to direct tune uploading. Without setting the duration property, the RK can "see" the tune and even play it, but all the manipulations for rewind, fast-fwd, etc. are disabled. The duration property is the only one which is strictly missing, but getting all the other properties from the tags would be also very interesting. The problem is that lkarmafs (FUSE, in fact) does not have any way to know the pathname where the tune to upload comes from. Moreover, a tune can arrive from a pipe or even from some streaming port. And I don't know of any library which provides support for reading id3 tags (and, more importantly, determining the tune duration) from the successive tune chunks that pass through the lkarmafs/USB buffers.
